Possessing huge reserves of natural resources, Turkmenistan enjoys great prestige in the world as a major producer of energy resources and a reliable partner.

An example of this is the large projects we are carrying out in the oil and gas sector, among which the construction of the transnational gas pipeline Turkmenistan – Afghanistan – Pakistan – India is of particular interest in the world. In the future, the implementation of new regional and global projects in the fuel and energy complex will become one of the policy priorities of our state.
We have implemented several projects to diversify the oil and gas complex, enrich its structure by creating new modern production facilities. We will continue our programmatic work in this direction in the future.
It is noteworthy that at present new, promising, rich oil and gas fields have been discovered on the territory of our country, gas chemical complexes have been commissioned to produce essential and competitive products that are in great demand on world markets.
In addition, in the near future it is planned to build several more new gas chemical complexes for the deep processing of natural gas. This will create favorable conditions for a significant increase in production volumes, product range and industry development through comprehensive diversification.
The “Program of the President of Turkmenistan for the socio-economic development of the country for 2019-2025”, as well as the “Program for the development of the oil and gas industry of Turkmenistan for the period up to 2030” provide priority measures to increase the level of production. This will ensure the energy security of our country in the global and regional dimensions, its stable economic progress.
Today, in the century of rapid development of science and technology, consumption of raw oil and oil products also increases. In this regard, we pay significant attention to the development of oil and gas industry.
Among our main goals is the development of this direction, effective use of rich hydrocarbon resources, increase of processing volume and export of energy resources.
